Need Package Name for Serial on Centos

fsonnichsen has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I am trying to write serial codes on a new server and I get the error: eval "use Device::SerialPort"; .... Can't locate Device/SerialPort.pm in @INC I assume I need to issue a yum install to get the appropriate package. Can anyone point me to the proper syntax/package name? thanks Fritz

The dist is Device::SerialPort and the package is unsurprisingly perl-Device-SerialPort. .	[reply]

You never need to know the real package name because all perl modules are provided as perl($module) so: `# yum install 'perl(Device::SerialPort)'` [download]	[reply] [d/l]
